Trade Goldy and Sanchez to land Trea, Yu, and Odubel in a 10-teamer? I also have Lucroy, making Sanchez expendable, and this is a one-catcher league. Thanks!

Paul Sporer

2:36

Ya that works

Dan

2:37

He is the purveyor of the SP Guide (on hiatus for '17)..... Hiatus means it's coming back? Why did it go away?

Paul Sporer

2:37

Yes. Time. Transitioning to full time at FG required a lot of my offseason time. I should be able to bring it back in '18

Jim

2:37

Should I be worried about Arrieta?

Paul Sporer

2:38

I'm down on him by comparison to the market, but his first start was actually a bit encouraging outside of the velo. His stuff was moving nicely.

Big Tuna

2:38

I've read the recent Fangraphs articles that mention Toles and am intrigued. Should I be buying in a 12 team OPS league?

Paul Sporer

2:39

I'm a fan, but 12-teamers probably have someone better to pick up unless you're using like 7+ reserves

Watchlist him

Mama

2:39

16 team league pearce at corner. I should be excited, fine, worried

Paul Sporer

2:39

Fine with a tinge of excitement, just like the Owings answer

Rondell White

2:40

Let's say the Royals have a terrible first half. Which of their soon-to-be free agents do you see them dealing?

Paul Sporer

2:40

Hos

Dave

2:40

Does Gerrit Cole ever figure it out? It seems he has all the talent in the world but can't put it together.

Paul Sporer

2:41

Not sure I'd go that far in terms of suggesting he hasn't put it together. He was hurt last year, but beyond that he has performed. It feels like he can do more, espec. w/the Ks, but 584 IP of a 3.28 ERA is pretty good through age 25

Sloth

2:42

Dylan Bundy's next two starts are @BOS and @TOR, FWIW.

Paul Sporer

2:42

Won't be easy navigating the AL Beast, but we knew that when we invested. Trying to time the right starts will likely end in disaster. In leagues where I drafted him, I'm just playing him

Dave

2:43

Stephen Strasburg a top 10 pitcher when healthy?

Paul Sporer

2:43

Absolutely, just rarely makes it through unscathed

Donner

2:43

should I drive 5 hours each way for Royals home-opener?

Paul Sporer

2:43

Def!

Sloth

2:43

Bryce Harper hits dingers.

Paul Sporer

2:43

Monster

Bert Campaneris

I need your help, Paul. Help a buddy out! I am in a 14-tm (8x8 cat league, OBP & QS are some of the added cats). I am trying to get a shortstop. Right now I am platooning Alcides Escobar and Danny Espinosa (yawn). I am willing to trade the ToddFather and AJ Ramos. Who should I target? Villar, Baez, BCrawford, Andrus? Thanks for the help.

Paul Sporer

2:44

If you can get Villar, he's the guy for sure. I'd look at Crawford after that as he'd likely come a little cheaper than the others

Twinkie

2:44

Still have hope for Jose Berrios? When should we expect to see him get called back up?

Paul Sporer

2:44

Certainly. A couple weeks, especially if h excels at AAA again

Ryan

2:44

Just kidding about the music, someone pointed out you had better music picks in an Eno chat, and Eno took it to heart.

Paul Sporer

2:45

It's all about preference. There's one crybaby who literally whines about my music EVERY chat, lol. The videos don't autoplay, just skip em!

Ya crybaby, I'm talkin to you, leave your usual msg and I'll laugh at you

Big Tuna

2:45

Eno mentioned SwStk% and movement as two key metrics to measure for pitchers? Is there a way to find out what the average is to compare the numbers?

Paul Sporer

2:45

I have my bookmark for it on the other computer, so hit up Eno on Twitter and he'll help ya there @enosarris

Big Tuna

2:46

Was offered Peralta for Pearce in a 12 team OPS. In a vacuum, would you do it?

Paul Sporer

2:46

Jerj Clooners

2:46

Who am I dropping for Bundy: Robbie Ray, Carlos Rodon, Vince velasquez

Paul Sporer

2:46

How many teams? I guess Rodon bc he's hurt. Can't DL him?

Eno's Curly Hair

2:46

Your thoughts on Andrew McCutchen? He a top 20 OF this year?

Paul Sporer

2:46

He's a possible top 20 of course bc he's uber-talented, but I didn't quite rank him that high

Lars

2:46

Mazara looks great so far. This the year for a big step forward?

Paul Sporer

2:47

Very possible. I drafted him with that in mind and his price was such where even if he doesn't, you're not out much
